Inside Broadmoor: Up close and personal with Britain's most dangerous criminals by Emma French, Jonathan Levi

rosienreads's review against another edition

3.0

Inside Broadmoor is a fascinating journey into Broadmoor, delving away from its dark reputation and towards the truth of what is inside its walls. There are interviews with the staff and patients as well as overviews of the wards and the treatments provided. Only briefly does it touch on the more sensationalised cases, such as the Yorkshire Ripper. While the writing itself was not the best, and it spent a lot of time referring to images not included in the book or the film one of the authors produced which I hadn’t seen, it was still an interesting read and worth reading by anyone interested in working in mental health.
